0·2 years agoI like Plexamp but there’s a couple of things to be aware of depending on your music library that took me a while to figure out:
- They downsample anything above 48kHz which isn’t a big deal but sucks if you have hi-res music. It won’t even tell you it’s transcoding if you check the dashboard and Plexamp will show it as playing at the actual sample rate which is misleading when trying to debug.
- It doesn’t distinguish between explicit and clean versions so if you have both then it will just look like duplicates. You also can’t favorite just the clean or explicit version as favoriting one will do the same for both versions.
- They don’t support Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos(E-AC-3) music. Doesn’t matter if they are m4a or flac. Again, nothing about transcoding in the dashboard but the sound will be horrible. It does at least show in Plexamp that the song is playing as Opus. I know everyone says multichannel music isn’t worth it, but I wanted to try it out and was very disappointed when Plexamp wouldn’t play them.
These probably aren’t issues to the majority of users with just their favorite songs in mp3 or flac 16-44, but it’s something for people with larger hi-res/multichannel libraries to be aware of that I recently learned.

0·2 years agoI just bought a few refurbished 12TB WD Ultrastars off Amazon and it actually says it’s sold by ServerPartDeals. Not sure if it’s the same people but interesting if they are
Maybe they are thinking of iVentoy which is not open source but is by the same dev

@[email protected] Maybe see if you can use a FIDO2 device like yubikey for 2fa
You can watch rss feeds to follow all CVEs like Microsoft’s https://api.msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/rss
NIST used to have an rss feed for CVEs but deprecated it recently. They still have other ways you can follow it though https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/data-feeds
Or if you just want to follow CVEs for certain applications you can host/subscribe to something like https://www.opencve.io/welcome which allows you to filter CVEs from NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
I had to deal with the same thing in outlook. A user was complaining that their password manager wasn’t working when opening links from outlook and didn’t even notice it was opening in edge instead of chrome.
Ya i get that but one is so much worse that the comparison threw me off
